That would be an extra $7,000 per student on top of the $10,591 that Brown’s 2016-17 budget projects will be spent on each from state and local funds and push California’s per-pupil spending to one of the nation’s highest levels.

    It is only money, your money so what is the big deal.
    25 students times 10000 equals 250,000 dollars per class and it is not enough money. The uber greedy educrats want 25 times 17,000 or 425,000 dollars per class. They are beyond psychotic and if the taxpayers go for this they also are beyond psychotic.
